Annuar Musa has announced the cancellation of Ramadan bazaars for the Federal Territories in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan

Bernam reported the Federal Territories Minister saying that there will be no Ramadan bazaars this year.

According to the national news agency, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), Putrajaya Corporation (PPj), and Labuan Corporation (PL) would be returning the payment of licence, deposit, and service charge to hawkers and organisers who were approved earlier.

"A total of 2,673 hawkers at 66 Ramadan bazaar locations had registered with DBKL, 300 with PPj, and 215 hawkers at three locations with PL," he was quoted as saying today, 8 April.

Meanwhile, the minister also stressed that regardless of whether or not the Movement Control Order (MCO) is lifted on 14 April, any gatherings during Ramadan would not be allowed

"Whether the MCO has been lifted or continued, we think the social distancing guidelines of the Ministry of Health should continue to break the chain of COVID-19 infection," he said.

"Nonetheless, those who wish to contribute food to the needy, should inform us of the total amount of contribution and the address should be given and we will help them to deliver to the targeted group."
